Specialized Transcription

There are many types of transcription. Three types of transcription services in particular require specialized training, expertise, and skill: Medical Transcription, Legal Transcription, and Song (or Music) Transcription. Certified Medical Transcriptionists, although not physicians, must be knowledgeable about medical terminology and healthcare practices; Legal Transcriptionists, though not lawyers or judges, must be familiar with legal jargon and legal processes; and Song Transcriptionists, though not necessarily musicians, must be able to read and write music. Transcription service providers that offer accurate transcription in these specialized areas are in high demand.

Legal Transcription

Attorneys, small businesses, large corporations, government agencies, insurance companies, and banks are some of the potential clients for legal transcription services providers. Each step of every proceeding that takes place in civil and criminal court systems requires hard copy documentation. Testimony, pleadings, hearing reviews, depositions, and other types of information are recorded or dictated every day in law offices and courtrooms. Legal transcription is the process of converting this recorded information into text format. This involves digital transcription, dictation transcription, court reporting, etc.

General transcriptionists usually undertake special training in order to take on legal transcription jobs.

Language transcription (transcribing non-English language recordings) is an additional service provided by Californiatranscription.com that can be of critical importance for legal transcription.

Song Transcription

Many excellent musicians cannot read and write music notation, and they need the services of specialized transcription companies to transcribe their music or songs. Other people who often need song transcription services are music students who would like to learn music from music sheets rather than from recordings. At Californiatranscription.com, we have extensive experience in the field of song transcription, and our transcription team includes professional transcriptionists specialized in transcribing songs from audio recordings.

Your song transcript (high-quality sheet music) can be e-mailed to you in PDF format or in print form.

Medical Transcription and Dictation

Medical transcription is one of the most often required transcription services The medical transcription business is vitally important, and because the world’s population is growing and aging rapidly, medical transcription companies are increasing in number all over the country.

Medical transcriptionists listen to dictation recordings by doctors and healthcare practitioners, and convert them into medical reports, medical correspondence, discharge papers, autopsy reports, etc., which are then placed in the patients’ permanent medical records. Experienced certified medical transcriptionists are extremely valuable because of their ability to correct inconsistencies as they transcribe. A medical transcriptionist, unlike a general transcriptionist, must understand medical terminology and be able to decipher medical abbreviations. As in the case of legal transcription, there are specific document formats that medical transcriptions have to adhere to, and all medical transcriptionists must respect legal requirements concerning the confidentiality of patient information.

Online transcription has made it possible for a growing number of medical transcriptionists to work out of their homes. Due to the rapidly growing trend towards outsourced transcription (especially medical transcription), and the increasing number of transcription companies offering medical transcription services online, thousands of medical transcriptionists are being employed by American medical transcription companies.

At Californiatranscription.com, we always administer recruitment testing before hiring medical dictation transcriptionists, and will only hire medical transcriptionists who have completed a serious training course. We also make sure to hire only experienced certified medical transcriptionists who have kept abreast with recent technological advances and updates both in the medical field and in the transcription field.
